Cold Ash St Mark's CE Primary School

Since Covid, there is no longer a legal obligation for primary schools to publish their Key Stage 2 SATs results on their website. While schools are required to publish certain information on their websites, such as their curriculum and policies, there is no longer a  statutory requirement to share SATs results specifically. However, schools must report individual pupil results to parents.

Reporting to parents:

Schools are legally obligated to provide annual reports to parents at the end of the key stages, including Key Stage 2 (Year 6). These reports must include information on a pupil's achievements, general progress, and attendance.

Publishing on school websites:

While schools are required to publish various information on their websites, including those related to curriculum and policies, the Department for Education has confirmed that schools are no longer expected to publish their Key Stage 2 SATs results on their own websites.

Performance tables:

SATs results are used in performance tables that are compiled and published by the government, but these are not published at the individual school level on the school's website.

Concerns about comparisons

The decision not to publish school-level SATs results on school websites was made to avoid unfair comparisons between schools based on pupil performance, especially given the potential impact of COVID-19 disruptions.
